This statement is <em>False</em>. According to social sciences, prejudice is a preconceived opinion towards a person, a member of a group or a whole group, and is not based on reason or real experience. Prejudice can be manifested as affective feelings towards someone, exclusively on the basis of that person's belonging to a group.

Discrimination is an unjust, harmful and prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, can be based on race, age or gender. In human social behavior, according to social sciences, discrimination involves discriminatory treatment or making a difference between a person or a group based on a different race, sex, age, etc.

The difference between prejudice and discrimination in a social sense is that prejudice is maintained in one's opinion and does not necessarily mean discriminatory treatment towards someone. Discrimination implies a discriminatory act towards someone, and usually those who do so may have an already created prejudice towards someone, which is the reason for their discriminatory action. Hence, there is a similarity between these two negative social phenomena, although they are not the same.

The discovery of a new oil field in North Dakota would most likely have which effect on the United States. Please help
son4ous [18]

The discovery of a new oil field in North Dakota would have a profound effect on the United States. North Dakota is among the top five oil producing areas as of 2014.

Oil is mostly produced by the following areas of the United States (in order from most to least): Texas, Gulf of Mexico, North Dakota and California.

The discovery of a new oil field would affect the United States in both (North Dakota) state and federal economics by creating jobs and capitalizing off of sales of oil both domestically and to foreign countries.

As of 2017, the US importing of oil was at its lowest point since 1970. Top oil imports come from Canada, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Mexico, and Iraq (in order from most to least). The discovery of new oil fields would probably even further decrease the amount of oil imports, which in the case of war, it would be a good thing to have our own easily accessible supply.
